varun Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Again similar "tiffin bombs" that they suspected for the Mosque bombings. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Three_blasts_rock_Gorakhpur_four_injured/articleshow/2067633.cms GORAKHPUR: Three serial blasts of low intensity in a span of 15 minutes in a crowded shopping area of this temple city this evening left four persons including a woman injured. The crude bombs kept in tiffin boxes and tied to cycles went off at five minutes interval after 7 pm -- near Baldev Plaza, Ganesh crossing and and Jalkal building in the busy Golghar area creating panic and confusion. Immediately after the explosions that occurred within an area of 500 metres shopkeepers in the locality and other markets downed their shutters. According to Inspector General of Police Dilip Trivedi four persons, including a woman, received minor injures in the blasts. The injured, some of them bleeding, were rushed to the district hospital where doctors said the injuries were minor in nature. Some motor cycles in the vicinity of the blasts were damaged. P K Agarwal, Additional District Magistrate, said security has been beefed up in sensitive areas of the city which recently witnessed communal violence. All exit points from the city has been sealed. Security around the famous Gorakhnath temple, which has been on the hit list of terrorists, has also been tightened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varun Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 First a mosque, then a temple area, but the modus operandi is the same for the bombings. I'm leaning towards the theory that this is a deliberate ploy to stir up communal tensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC1981 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Agreed Varun. This is to purely stir up communal tensions. Btw, any words from 'ground zero' about the Sikh-DSS feud ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varun Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 Well my friends and family are either in punjab or delhi. The tense areas are apparently the ones near the punjab-haryana border like Ambala. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Seems like another act to stir communal tension. Should be interesting to see how Mayawati reacts to this development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
